The Nova Scotia government in Canada is reviewing its aquaculture rules and regulations with a budget of $300,000.
During the review, applications for new marine-based aquaculture will be put on hold. However, this decision is largely symbolic as there is currently only one application is in the system. It is hoped that new rules will come into effect in 2014.
Community-based milkfish farming in Tonga, Samoa is to get a boost from the FAO funding Technical Cooperation
Programme. The US$231,000 project aims to develop commercially viable and
environment-friendly milkfish farming systems in Nomuka Island and
Tonga’tapu.
The project will be executed
by the Fisheries Department, Ministry of Agriculture & Food, Forests
and Fisheries in Tonga in cooperation with FAO.
What defines success in aquaculture? That's the question Farmer's Weekly, South Africa asks. This article looks at the small-scale farmers who produce enough fish to feed their local community and also larger commercial operations. Can both be defined as success stories?
